Top body/screen cover for Nikon F2?

KinoGrafx · May 18, 2023

Does anyone know if there is such a thing? I’ve got a beater F2 & I’d like to lose the bulky (non functional) photomic prism for pinholing. I can’t remember if I’ve ever even seen such a cap before that would cover the screen and sit flat on the body. Plenty of caps for the prism tho!

A waist-level finder, might as well be a broken WLF.

But why an F2?

Any old 35mm or 120 box camera would work as well. Should be able to find something in the 99-cent bin at Goodwill.

I know this is probably not quite what you have in mind but in a way it is exactly what you're looking for..

Sounds like a great 3d printing project!

Wow that is perfect- and would quintuple the value of this particular F2!

Use the mirror lock-up lever. Or jam a piece of card into the hole.
